Don't fool yourself like this. Programming in Scheme is a skill that
can be learned. When i wanted to write the function i sent you, i
didn't know anything about Scheme - it took me over an hour to get
this working, but i succeeded! And now i can do write some really
awesome Scheme stuff, much faster.

First, install newest version of Frescobaldi and use it. This will
give you syntax highlithing [1] which makes understanding any code -
including Scheme - much easier.
Then, look at the function i've sent you and determine where to change
it to make it work with directions instead of font-size.
Here's another example function that may help you in understanding how
these things work:
\override Score.BarNumber #'self-alignment-X =
#(lambda (grob)
(let ((break-dir (ly:item-break-dir grob)))
(set! (ly:grob-property grob 'self-alignment-X)
(if (= break-dir RIGHT)
RIGHT
CENTER))))
Don't be intimidated, this should be easy to do. Ask if you get stuck.
hth,
Janek
